i lost my chest and completely flat after having my first child would insurance cover breast augmentation?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Most insurance plans don't cover breast augmentation.  For the specifics of your coverage, call your insurance company.  Best wishes!

Question 10

planning to have breast augmentation, do i also have to have a mastopexy?

Accepted Answer

Have to?  No... But.: If you are choosing to have breast augmentation because your breasts have "deflated" after child-bearing and breast feeding, AND there is a lot of drooping, it may be a good idea.  Breast augmentation puts a saline or silicone filled balloon under your breast or muscle.  If you have a lot of drooping, that balloon will droop down too!!!  A mastopexy lifts the breast up to a more youthful position.
